velops, are such as to impress him most with the femin- ine attitudes of mind, he will identify himself with the psychological and emotional aspects of womanhood. In adult years he will say that he "feels" as a woman, "thinks" as a woman, and has the "soul" of a woman. he will long to have children and be a wife. His great- est desire in life will be to be rid of his male gen- itals which serve as a constant reminder of the fact that his "feminine soul" has unhappily been placed in a male body.
